Knitting Kit – Willow Pullover by Andrea Gaughan

 

The Willow Pullover is a cozy sweater worked in a basketweave stitch pattern.

With its relaxed fit and polished finishing, this sweater is the perfect everyday knit.

Named after the willow tree because of its long tradition of use in basket weaving, this sweater’s simple drop-shoulder construction lets the stitch pattern shine.

This sweater is worked bottom-up, seamless, and in the round.
